London Lightning was aiming to turn around the situation from  the last game, where they lost by eleven points without laying a hand, a start that put them on the wrong foot in the Basketball Super League campaign. Meanwhile, Titans were looking to ride the momentum and secure a home win.

The game began well for the visitors, leading by the slimmest margin in the first quarter, feeling on track until defensive mishaps and clear offensive blunders in the second quarter allowed the home team to head into halftime six points ahead.

Seeking a spark, Lightning turned to Mike Nuga from the bench, who shouldered the offensive load, balancing the scales and rallying his team at the start of the final quarter, giving hope for Lightning. However, his 27 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 blocks weren't enough to prevent the away team's defeat.

Now, London Lightning sits at 0-2, a position that disappoints their fans compared to their past performances, raising doubts about the starting lineup where some players ended up with zero points. On the other side, KW Titans leave with a 1-1 record and their first home victory, aiming higher.
